Of course, MF56173 is a delayed PTF, designed to stop a hang during an
IPL. Of course, what's to stop the hang during the IPL applying MF56173?
Well, don't have any "previous failed system configuration change" is a
big start.

We had an issue in installing TR5 as it hung during the IPL to apply the
PTF's. We call IBM and found out that we needed MF56173 to be applied
following the special instructions. Make sure you review MF56173
information before applying TR5.

The opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily the opinion of my
company. Unless I say so.
